 * Before admins will entertain an unblock, you will need to change your username so that it doesn't imply that it's a corporate account, using . I doubt this account would have been blocked so quickly had you a username compliant with policy. — Jeremy  v^_^v  Bori! 15:28, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

I am sorry that you have had a rough introduction to Wikipedia. If there is a defensive attitude, it is because we are more or less besieged by people who see this as a free advertising/promotion platform. One problem is that people editing on a subject they are close to seem to find it impossible, even while protesting that they have no promotional intent, to avoid writing in PR-speak, full of glowing adjectives, and writing what the company wants to tell the world rather than what an encyclopedia reader might want to know. That is why obvious company accounts are blocked until we can have a conversation like this.

For that reason, we have the guidelines Conflict of interest and Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest. In brief, even if your account is renamed as an individual account, you should not edit the relevant page(s) directly, but rather suggest changes on the article talk page and let uninvolved editors decide ("editor" means just the same as "user" - there is no separate class of "editors").

Please read those guidelines, and confirm that if unblocked you would be happy to operate on that basis. Of course, on subjects unconnected with your employer your contributions would be welcome without restriction.

 * Firstly, a big thank you to Jeremy and JohnCD for helping to guide me through the process for removing the block on my user account.GoodmanGroup (talk) 04:41, 19 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I have read the guidelines Conflict of interest and Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest and confirm that I would be happy to suggest changes only on the Goodman Group article talk page and let uninvolved editors decide on their suitability. On that basis, I kindly ask you to consider removing the block on my user account. Thank you.GoodmanGroup (talk) 04:41, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
